KVM: x86: check for cr3 validity in ioctl_set_sregs
Matt T. Yourst notes that kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl_set_sregs lacks validity checking for the new cr3 value: "Userspace callers of KVM_SET_SREGS can pass a bogus value of cr3 to the kernel. This will trigger a NULL pointer access in gfn_to_rmap() when userspace next tries to call KVM_RUN on the affected VCPU and kvm attempts to activate the new non-existent page table root. This happens since kvm only validates that cr3 points to a valid guest physical memory page when code *inside* the guest sets cr3. However, kvm currently trusts the userspace caller (e.g. QEMU) on the host machine to always supply a valid page table root, rather than properly validating it along with the rest of the reloaded guest state." http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=893831&aid=2687641&group_id=180599 Check for a valid cr3 address in kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl_set_sregs, triple fault in case of failure.
